We went out to Rita's Wednesday night for the cruise that normally takes place on Wednesday's through out the summer. As we were waiting in line a fire truck and ambulance pulled up. After seeing my 3 year old son Cameron in line, one of the fire fighters went back to the fire truck and came back with a fireman's hat for Cameron. They then opened up the fire truck and ambulance and allowed him to look inside, ask questions and have a very hands on experience. Although he was a little shy at first he began to open up and asked questions up till the fire dept got a call. He then got to see them drive off with the lights flashing and sirens blaring, as the fire truck was pulling off he said "daddy when I get bigger I want to drive a fire truck and ambulance so I can help people." He then wore the hat the remainder of the evening. Upon waking up this morning it was the first thing he went for and has wore it all afternoon while outside playing. I wanted to say thank you to the fire department for taking those few minutes of their time and really making an impression on Cameron. He also stated that it was the best Rita's trip ever!
Thank you to the Salisbury Fire Dept.
Tommy, Cameron and family

Cute story and so nice of the fire fighters.
My hats off for the firemen!
If you take out the Mayor and all of the bureacrats, the actual fireman and paramedics are good group of guys and gals.
